BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by saint on Dec 14, 2012 13:03:09 GMT 1, That Blu is one of the best things i've ever seen. Theres been some amazing murals done this year by, Blu, Phlegm, Liqen, Dal, Etam Cru, Pixel, Aryz, Interesni Kazki, Faith 47, Escif... the list goes on..... I couldnt choose 3, but any of their work from this year would be a worthy winner imo.

BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by Martin DK on Dec 14, 2012 14:29:32 GMT 1, I thought this RAE piece was pretty cool in the NYC subway, though place to put it up, and last I heard its still there, so perfect placement.
Also this one - dont know if its in the right catagory?

Definitely down with that RAE piece. Hadn't seen that video either. I would lean slightly towards the RAE piece below with my second choice being How & Nosm on Houston Street in New York City.
RAE
Stunning in person!

BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by star99 on Dec 14, 2012 16:57:56 GMT 1, Hard to pick between all the Dolk Japan street art pieces:
are you serious? with all the amazing street works done this year all you can think of are those dolk walls that are objectively nothing special (even less when compared to the works already posted in this thread)? seems like the only artist you appreiate is dolk, we got it, you live in norway and you run a dolk blog... but give it a rest, dolk works are already vastly overhyped.

and this ZED1

BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by brooksie82 on Dec 14, 2012 17:17:36 GMT 1, Its almost all legal walls huh!
Should there be two catagories one for legal walls and one illegal. Was that Banksy on the end of one of Laz's houses?

BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by Deleted on Dec 15, 2012 20:50:17 GMT 1, I'm with Mrtee, thanks for posting the Escif. The Phlegm also superbly executed and both these putting Daleast (who is popular on here, apparently) into perspective ability wise perhaps?
Faile could've done better work in Ulaanbaatar then put a sculpture up and I thought this was self-indulgent.

Couldn't agree more. I think the apprentices have become the masters. When you look at the new breed of street artist that's coming through and the level of skill that they're showing it makes Banksy seem almost irrelevant, especially has he seems to have lost interest (no more prints, huge gaps between street pieces) I admire a well placed, meaningful stencil piece but have we now evolved beyond that perhaps? I certainly expect a bit more now.

BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by Chrisp on Dec 15, 2012 23:34:13 GMT 1, Only reading the other day that things had become stale and nothing new(on this forum), this thread shows this is untrue! The amount and quality of some of the so many emerging artists puts this to bed in an instant. Huge scale pieces of such quality and skill shows the scene is more than alive. Just because Banksy is not so active doesn't mean there is not a lot to love and new things to see. Bring on 2013, I cannot wait to see more! One of my many favourites for 2012..

BEST STREET ART NOMINATIONS 2012, by nex on Dec 16, 2012 2:05:25 GMT 1, looking at it objectively I'm getting old! Simple small scale stencil work comes off pretty poorly against large scale pieces, unless the message, placement and legality haven't all been accounted for (the first two at least Banksy still I'd say his head and shoulders above numerous others...but this has been a fallow year).
On a different note Ayrz and Os Gem:
this thread is the most fun I've had on here in 2012 - thankyou contributors please carry on
